What happens when you take a mission-driven team off-site to one of the most unique and serene locations in Central New York? In this video, we document the Clear Path for Veterans team heading out to Blueberry Brook Farm Resort in Deansboro, NY, for a day of collaborative work, fresh perspectives, and genuine connection.
This is the heart of Making The City Smaller. It’s about more than just a meeting—it’s about breaking down the walls of the traditional office and bringing organizations together in a space that allows for creativity and authentic engagement.
A massive thank you to our hosts, owner Dan Williams and Stephanie, the Event Sales & Experience Manager at Marshall Mountain Resort. They gave us the full experience, including a tour of the expansive property and the course for the Daniel Barden Mudfest. This incredible annual event, hosted at MKJ Farms, supports the Barden Adventure Scholarship and honors the memory of Daniel Barden.
Seeing the passion behind Mudfest—often called “The Boilermaker’s Dirty Little Brother”—perfectly illustrates what we talk about: creating connections that add lasting value back to our communities. When we align the right mindsets in a collaborative and meaningful environment, amazing things happen.
